The co-operative (co-op) & internship program offers engineering students 8, 12 & 16 months of paid, full-time on-the-job experience, to develop skills, build professional connections and gain confidence in their chosen discipline.
The Optional Specialization in Management Sciences (OSMS) focuses on engineering and operations management, operations research, finance and organizational behaviour and prepares students for engineering leadership.
The Accelerated Masters of Applied Science Pathway helps research-minded students, who have a minimum CGPA of A-, earn a Master of Applied Sciences up to one year earlier.
A Professional Engineer (P.Eng) License (external link) is an optional professional designation for engineering graduates through Professional Engineers Ontario (PEO).
The first year transition program is designed to help students who may be struggling with the pace of university learning, have missed credits, or need to improve their academic standing. This program ensures that students have the tools and guidance they need to succeed and remain on track in their studies.
“In an era of rising AI and robotics, and dominated by automation, the world is undergoing rapid transformations as tasks increasingly shift to intelligent machines. This shift highlights the necessity for professionals to be equipped with the ability to seamlessly integrate knowledge in mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering. Through our carefully-designed interdisciplinary curriculum, hands-on labs, mechatronics/robotics clubs and societies, and optional specialization and co-op & internships programs, we prepare students to become valuable contributors and indispensable assets for the employers in this evolving landscape.”
Through both theory and application, students begin their program by focusing on the foundations of engineering science, programming and electric circuit analysis. They then gain specialized knowledge in modern control theory, microcontrollers, intelligent systems and robotics.
Technical electives allow for specialization in robotics, automation, digital control systems design, consumer electronics and more. With a senior Capstone design project for an industry partner, an opportunity to enrol in a paid co-op program, and options to enrol in many specializations, students graduate with the hands-on experience to thrive in many future-focused careers. Full course descriptions are available on the undergraduate calendar.
